I CAN’T WIN FOR LOSING

 

 

If I write too many drunk poems

I’ll be accused of ripping off Bukowski

If I write cute poems about getting laid

I’ll be dancing on Brautigan’s grave

If I breathe too much in my verse

Everyone will think I’m Ginsberg’s boy

 

I can’t win for losing

and I’m not entirely sure

why I even bother trying
